I mean to make some point, but don't have the patience with myself tonight to actually get there.

;-)

I'm pretty convinced the Conowingo Dam in Maryland is THE place to go on the East Coast to see bald eagles in winter.

It's spectacular! Go there!

(bring your long lens, though)

I've never seen so many eagles at one time, in so many plumages... juvenile eagles are gorgeous!

The setting doesn't befit them, but still it manages to be memorable and goosebump-making.

I'll remember the people there with me and the sound of their cameras (hundreds of shutters clicking at once like the sound I imagine on the red carpet at a movie premiere) and feeling very, very lucky to have the chance to witness such a thing.

Reminds me of my trip to Bosque del Apache in NM. A bird would fly by and it was like machine guns going off. I made the mistake of accidentally being in front of one person and got a really rude reaction.

Oh, the beautiful flight of an eagle. They are just starting to congregate on the Snake River where they will winter. We have hundreds here, but not the population of people, so we get to see and photo them many times alone.
